  • Publication number: 20260015979
    Abstract: A fuel system can include a first fuel circuit, a second fuel circuit, and an inert gas purge system operatively connected to both the first fuel circuit and the second fuel circuit to purge at least a portion of either or both of the first and/or second fuel circuit. The first fuel can be a liquid fuel and the second fuel can be a gaseous fuel. The first fuel circuit can include a first fuel manifold configured to fluidly communicate a first fuel supply with at least one dual fuel nozzles downstream of the first fuel manifold.

  • Publication number: 20250353606
    Abstract: An assembly for an aircraft includes a wing assembly, a plurality of underwing heat exchangers, and a mounting assembly. The wing assembly includes a wing body. The plurality of underwing heat exchangers are arranged along the wing body in a longitudinal direction. The plurality of underwing heat exchangers includes a first underwing heat exchanger and a second underwing heat exchanger. The first underwing heat exchanger is longitudinally adjacent the second underwing heat exchanger. The mounting assembly includes a first heat exchanger bracket, a second heat exchanger bracket, and a first support bracket. The first heat exchanger bracket is fixedly mounted to the first underwing heat exchanger. The second heat exchanger bracket is fixedly mounted to the second underwing heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger bracket and the second heat exchanger bracket are pivotably mounted to the first support bracket. The first support bracket is fixedly mounted to the wing body.
